This piece has also been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.Cheerleading is a sport, it's form of dance and dance is a sport. Cheerleading is probably one of the harder sports too, you have to be flexible, strong, and fast like in gymnastics
ok cheer is a sport. i know it takes hard work and you do have to sacrifice yourself for that human life you are throwing in the air. its painful and it takes dedication. like dancers they perform in front of crowds in size bigger than any crowd that comes to your games.its a rush and we have adrenaline pumping through our veins. we come home hurt and bruised and sore. we practice long hours. we lift people and you run around in circles!
you see, i'm a big woman. i play softball (the catcher) basketball, and mens football. cheerleading is 100% NOT a sport. it is just a reason for the fine looking ladies to wear mini skirts and gives the guys something hot to look at. THUGS FO LIFE DAWG
OMG I totally agree with everything this article says. I'm a cheerleader and when people say cheer isn't a sport I tell them then well I guess gymnastics and dance aren't sports either!
i think that cheering is a lot of hard work i am a cheerleader i've been a cheerleader for 4 years and to this day i love it even though my coaches expections are high .....i kno that the whole stunt is just messed up because it takes t my life is very risky because i am a flyer and if i mess up or they drop my foot
wow, this is very good(: Im a cheerleader and I cheer for my school and cheerleading is a sport. Its my sport(:
I DID NOT REALLY think cheerleading was actually a sport or was that difficult till I decided to try-out. It's a lot Harder than it looks, but its worth all the hard work. GO CHEERLEADERS GO! :)
I totally agree.....I think cheerleading should be considered a sport too :]]
I absolutely love this. It's so true. So many people wonder why I'm always so sore or bruised from cheerleading because they don't think it's a sport, but we work just as hard, if not harder, than any other team! <3
This is so true. I've been cheering for 5 years and almost EVERYONE at my school thinks its not a sport and its a waste of time. but i love it and always will =]
I believe that cheer is a real sport and should be considered a sport so people start considering O>K>
